Codebase Overview

When to Use

Trigger this skill when the user:

Asks about project structure or architecture
Is new to a codebase and needs orientation
Wants to understand tech stack or patterns used
Asks "what is this project about"
Asks "how is this organized"

Instructions

Run /sourceatlas:overview to analyze the codebase
This scans <5% of high-entropy files (configs, READMEs, models)
Returns project fingerprint, architecture hypotheses, and AI collaboration level

What User Gets

Project type and scale
Tech stack identification
Architecture patterns with confidence levels
Code quality signals
Recommended next steps

Example Triggers

"I just joined this project, where do I start?"
"What's the architecture of this codebase?"
"Give me an overview of this project"
"What tech stack does this use?"
